Love washed out, the colours fade
Love so red is now passé
Never found a pot of gold
At the end of all my rainbows
Blue afternoon, nothing to do
Wondering why I'm feeling
Blue afternoon, thinking of you
Wondering why I cry on my blue afternoon
Qué sera is what will be
I indulge in sweet envy
Sand is tinged with streaks of gold
But I've been told we're on a rainbow
Blue afternoon, nothing to do
Wondering why I'm feeling
Blue afternoon, thinking of you
Wondering why I cry on my blue afternoon
Let me continue, can't give it up
I care for you so I live it up
My feelings will they ever stop
For you
For you...
Love came back in shape of you
And now my afternoon is blue
Everywhere I look is gold
At the end of every rainbow
Blue afternoon, everything's new
Suddenly I'm not feeling
Blue anymore, never again
Now I say, go away, go away
Go away you blue afternoon
